    A good day in today for PV and for me nationally.

    The problem with my tank appears just to have been some kind of blip!

    Thanks Lego for all of your advice. I have taken it on board and had a good lok at the tank. I have a much better understanding of it now.

    Still above my Estimate but only 0.75 O's:eek:

    I haven't got a figure for yesterday yet. Got an error report from the inverter during the night to say it's lost comms with Fronius servers, so will have to go and reset everything.

    The data won't be lost as it stores it until it can upload it, just a nuisance as I'm still unable to walk since suffering a slipped disk, let alone climb ladders into the loft. :(

    Might it be worth switching the supply from the main consumer unit to the attic off ? Switching it back should reset everything.

    It's my BT fibre interface which gets in a mess and I had it installed in the loft out of the way, then CAT6 to the router which is in a cupboard, then a further CAT6 to the switch. :p

    I installed a UPS for all the IT kit years ago as we get lots of 2-3 second powercuts here which makes resetting a little harder as I need to get into the loft to do so.

    Anyway, it's done. And running much better now.

    It was every bit as dismal as it seemed yesterday according to the numbers.

    1.73 O's (6.79kWh)

    edit - already done better today than yesterday.

    I'm calling it now. Not because generation has stopped, but because I'm going to have to pop some more pain killers and climb into my nest for the night. :(

    Still, it was a good day for generation.
